No.. and I'm not going to just say no and leave i'll say why I say no.

No because releasing bonds in the Rs3 state will have a big impact on the economy both positively and negatively depending on what you do on RuneScape. Also the most important thing: You should not be able to buy your success on RuneScape with your real life wealth.

I've trained thousands of hours since OldSchool Runescape's release training my Slayer level to become near the top and it brings a good sense of self achievement knowing I did it myself without any help from experience boosts etc. But if bonds were released people can just buy cannonballs to speed their Slayer up, prayer potions, food, the best gear, etc. This would affect all skills obviously just for me it would effect me in Slayer.

Players would quit, stats would mean nothing once again, cash wouldn't mean too much because you can buy it.

Of course, this only works if bonds were to be released how they currently are in Runescape 3. I don't know what the results of the poll would look like but I know a lot of people will vote for them so they don't have to pay for them however a lot of the people who vote for them will be the ones who don't think in a n overall point of view on how it would affect the game. They just vote to vote.... Then complain that the game is going downhill when it was their fault.

Anyways, my second to last point on why bonds shouldn't be released is because you can still just transfer your Rs07 gp to Rs3 via some legitimate clan chats. Yes some are fake, yes there's a risk but if it means it wont affect the game then it's the best way to go.

Then there's the few people who argue 'I don't know how to use the Runescape 3 interfaces its too hard I logged in for 4 seconds and gave up I don't know how to buy a bond'. Well you can use the Legacy interface now so that's not an issue anymore.

Please, don't bring mtx into Runescape again. This shouldn't even be considered really. (How Rs3 released them)

"First off, RWT for Oldschool already exists, and you would not get the same amount of GP from a Bond in OSRS as you would in RS3, and second people already can buy OSRS GP and have been since the start, via bonds or other methods."


Rwt exists in Os in the method of gold farmers and players buying the GP. However they know there's a risk involved and that it's not always safe and it's frowned upon.

Then there's Jagex doing it, that's completely different in every way possible. Other than being frowned upon, by most at least; it's safe, and there's no risk.

I would rather have bots doing Rwt than Jagex doing it. Any day. We don't have a lot of bots compared to 2011 era, yes the player count was much different therefore less bots now but I would rather have that instead of being able to buy Gp safely.

As far as the whole
money swapping
thing goes, why not just find a way to make a Fail-Safe trading system between the two games, no need to use
clans
, have a set amount of gold you can receive from bonds so they cannot be manipulated, etc...

Why not? Because you can buy RS3 gold with bonds and then transfer that gp to oldschool. Effectively bringing bonds to oldschool and allowing people to buy in game gp with real life wealth. Therefore making oldschool also, like RS3, a game where you can buy your way through the game.

Instead they should be tackling gold transferring head on and banning people who do it, as gold transferring between the two games allows RWT for oldschool.

First off, RWT for Oldschool already exists, and you would not get the same amount of GP from a Bond in OSRS as you would in RS3, and second people already can buy OSRS GP and have been since the start, via bonds or other methods.

As far as banning people goes, they do not have the man power to keep up with how many people abuse the trading system, I would rather see Jagex get that cash and in return it would cut back almost all of the RWT and Gold Swapping problem,
Fight fire with fire
.

Just because it already exists doesn't make it right. You can't shy away from a bad issue just because "it already exists, therefore we should leave it the way it is or even encourage it further". Instead of encouraging it further, they should spend a fraction of the time they spend banning bots to ban people who transfer gold between games. This would reduce it as people would not want to take the risk.

Fight bots by introducing macros to RS3 directly.

Let shops occasionally pay more or less for items to balance out against scammers.

Randomly throw insults into chat so maybe those who use offensive language won't, because they know the person is getting called bad things already.

Introducing microtransactions won't stop people from buying and selling gold. Stepping up and trying to stop people from doing it will.

It's like trying to stop gun violence by giving everyone a gun or malpractice by allowing those without a medical license to practice medicine.

It stops being as much of a problem from a "law" point of view, but...well...want to pay me to do surgery for you? Best prices in town!

Just because something becomes official doesn't make it less harmful.

NO. I don't want microtransactions in any way in osrs or I will probably want to leave again. It takes the accomplishment factor away.

Trading from rs3 to osrs is ENOUGH, we don't need microtransactions. I'm actually surprised this question was asked to this community and I really hope it's either a sick joke or fails the poll miserably.
